Noesis

Noesis is an experience or feeling that an individual often has during a powerful Connection Experience. Noesis is the feeling that the information and knowledge one receives during a powerful Connection Event is highly significant[1] and valid knowledge, despite the fact that the knowledge flows from an "unverifiable" internal source. Noesis occurs as a consequence of the Enhanced Connection that attends a Connection Experience.
